 ABSTRACT

A campus network is a vital element of life on campus, and network security is critical. The
campus network has difficulties in addressing key security issues that are dictated by network
architecture. The campus network's hierarchical architecture is set with several forms of security
issues to ensure service quality. A college network can be used for a variety of purposes,
including teaching, learning, research, management, e-library, publishing results, and connecting
with other users. Based on the practical needs, a tested and secure network design is proposed in
this project, and this recommended network infrastructure is realizable with adaptable
infrastructure.

One of the key technical challenges of information transmission in campus networks is

constructing a viable, effective, and secure network.

 1.INTRODUCTION

People within a same management structure, such as a house, office building, campus, or region,
can access network services and applications through a local area network (LAN).This project
entails creating a network architecture for a LAN (Local Area Network) for a college, in which
multiple computers from various departments are set up in such a way that they can interact and
communicate with one another by exchanging data. To create a networking situation for a
college that connects several departments to one another and facilitates communication between
them. This architecture is utilized to create a well-organized and well-planned topology that
meets all of the college's requirements (i.e., client).

To begin communication between end user devices and to construct a network, we must first
pick relevant networking equipment such as routers and switches from the packet tracer's
component list, then make physical connections by connecting cables to serial and fast Ethernet
ports. Because networking devices are expensive, it's best to start with a packet tracer to get a
better understanding of the network's concept and behavior.

 2.IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT

Different networking devices are used to implement campus network design, including PT
routers, PT switches, DNS servers, FTP servers, WEB servers, computers, laptops, and printers,
as well as Serial DTE and Copper Straight-Through connections. TABLE l also contains

 5.ROUTING PROTOCOL PLAN

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol that finds the
optimum path between the source and destination networks by using hop count as a routing
metric. It is a distance vector routing protocol with an AD value of 120 that operates at the OSI
model's application layer.

The number of routers between the source and destination networks is referred to as the hop
count. The path with the fewest hops is deemed the best route to a network and is thus entered
into the routing table. The number of hops allowed in a path between source and destination is
limited by RIP, which eliminates routing loops.

RIP's characteristics

1. Network updates are sent on a regular basis.

2. Routing information (updates) are always broadcast.

3. Routing tables in their entirety are sent in updates.

4. Routing information received from nearby routers is always trusted by routers. This is also
known as Routing on rumors.

 7.Configuration of Servers

7.1 DNS Server

A DNS server is a computer server that stores a database of public IP addresses and their
associated hostnames, and in most situations, it resolves, or converts, those names to IP
addresses when requested. DNS servers use proprietary software and communicate with one
another via proprietary protocols.

Because it transforms easy-to-remember hostnames like www.google.com to IP addresses like

216.58.217.46, DNS is sometimes referred to as the internet's phone book. This happens behind
the scenes after you type a URL into the address bar of a web browser.

The website you wished to visit is then shown in your web browser after the IP address is
returned.It may appear like there is a lot of back and forth, and there is, but it all happens swiftly,
with minimal delay in sending you to the site you requested.

FIG 4

16
7.2 WEB Server

A web server is software and hardware that responds to client requests via the World Wide Web
using HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and other protocols. A web server's primary
responsibility is to show website content by storing, processing, and distributing webpages to
users.

Web server software is accessed via a website's domain name and ensures that the site's content
is delivered to the requesting user. There are various components on the software side, including
at least an HTTP server. HTTP and URLs are understood by the HTTP server. A web server is a
machine that houses web server software as well as other website-related assets including HTML
texts, pictures, and JavaScript files.

When a browser requests a document from a web server, the process is broken down into many
parts. A person will first type a URL into the address bar of a web browser. The domain name's
IP address is then obtained by either translating the URL through DNS (Domain Name System)
or querying the web browser's cache. The browser will be directed to a web server as a result of
this action. The browser will then use an HTTP request to request the appropriate file from the
web server. The web server will react by delivering the requested page to the browser through
HTTP once more. The web server will respond with an error message if the requested page does
not exist or if something goes wrong.

7.3 FTP Server

The FTP server stores the address of client files and creates a link to share these files. An FTP
server requires a transfer control protocol network or internet protocol network to function. FTP
server connection remains connected to FTP clients all the time. It helps in transferring files from
one user to another via the Internet. Any user can access the data stored in the FTP server, while
some files can be accessed by special users.

It can be thought of as a layer in between the user's system and the data. The file is either posted
or downloaded to the FTP server when you use FTP to transfer it. If the user is uploading data,
the data is sent from the user's system to the FTP server. If the user is downloading data, the data
is transferred from the FTP server to the user's PC.

 9.CONCLUSION

The proposed system will result in a fail-safe backbone network infrastructure that meets the
needs for quick access to information while also ensuring optimal productivity when using
telecommunication services. The installed technology enabled high-speed wired Internet access
throughout the entire complex of buildings, as well as data transfer of all types through a single
streamlined network.

The Cisco packet tracer simulator software was used to approve the campus area network design.
Because a hierarchical design is utilized to combine devices into numerous levels, this design is
also known as the hierarchical network design. This is simply accomplished using the
hierarchical design, which has been appropriately provisioned for network scalability and
performance.
